For three miles the bank behind IL
towpath is very high and compactiy built
with willows thickiy planted, a veritahlo
bulwark against the Delaware, which
sweeps ateng a short distance away. In
the spring the river comes up To the very
banks, and is a constant source of danger.
At such times the path walker Is on duty
day and night, plugging the smallest bolcs
with sod, filling in where the rain has
started a gully, and building the bank
higher where IL has washed away. In
ordinary times each walker has stretch
of fourteen miles to watch. He walks
down the towpath one day and back ca
the heelpath the next, with n shovel or
pick to make repairs, or armed with
scythe to trim the briers, ivies and eiderz-
His worst enemy Is the muskrat, who's
holes, running far into the hank, may 6
any moment make an outlet and become
dangerous break. Against these raw
ages the company supply a special guxr-
dian in the person of the ratter. The
whole length of the canal Is divided
up among several men who make
it their business to trap musk
rats ali the year round. They use
an ordinary steel trap without teeth,
which they set as near IA possible I'm the
path OF the main entrance or regularly
used track TO the rat hole. The men are
paid wages by the day, and the noses and
tails are redeemed by the company at If
teen cents once month. The pelts belong
to the ratter, and are cured by him, TO Be
sold later at an average Of about eighteen
cents each. Any rat trapped within .
mile Of the canal is n legitimate catch, and
o days work is from ten To fifteen.

A SWIMMING RACE.

They remained in the surf for more than
half an hour, and the last thing they did was
to tale part in a race to tho shore, though
they were not aware that a race was in prog
ress. They had swum out half way 10 the
raft again. Near the point where they
turned about were three young men who
agreed among themselves to swim back to
the shore with the agitators, to see how fast
they could go. The agitators were ignorant
of this determination, and whether they
swan as fast as they could Is not known
But the three young men strained every
nerve, and it must be said that they were not
able 70 keep up with either Mr.. George or the
doctor. The latter was little behind Mr..
George at the finish, and appeared TO be tax
ing ie easy, and he was two full lengths In
advance OF the best swimmer OF the three
young men. The distinguished bathers
walked dripping bacl; to their closets as they

the lead, and followed closely By the STOPPING,

Testing Superstition. Fancie..

Some time ago, In conversation with
a gentleman from the country, an IN
stance of superstition was brought to my
attention that was different from any
thing had ever heard, though It may not
be new 10 some of you. "a horse died
for me last spring." he said, land asked
a neighbor to hitch pair Of horses TO the
carcass and drag It out to the woods. He
seemed unwilling to do SO, and I offered
to compensate him oh, it isn't that
he replied, with an embarrassed air. It's
a bad thing to do. 1t is quite likely that
one of the horses viii die within the year
/ hooted at the superstition. I've known
it to happen more than once, he said,
with dubious shake Of the head he
finally consented, accepted 81, and hauled
the dead horse 10 the woods"
"And did one Of the horses dief" asked.
"Inside of ten weeks" was the prompt
reply.
Now. the story was true, but the ex-
PLANTATION was sbeerest nonsense, and yet
I'll venture TO say that you can't beat it
into the head Of the farmer who lost the
best horse Of the pair. The great mistake
in connection with testing superstitious
fancies is that we are apt 10 make q note
of the ono instance 10 which they come
trre, and neglect to make a note Of the
other nine instances IN which they fz1. -

EaHes lie Doctors

y physician OF this city recently Wis
itod Jonathan Bass. of Cambria Niac-
ara county. whose case is believed to be
without a parallel in medical records.
Mr. Bass is iiity-siX year, OF age. I'm
the summer of 1918 he was seized with
a sharp pain in the bottom of his right
foot No cause for it could be discov-
cred. The foot and leg became great
~ swollen, and during the next nine
years all the joints in his body became
slowly an chy losed, or grown into solid
bone. In 1901 he was placed on an in
Valids bed. and has never been re.
moved from IL. 50 completely consoli-
dated are all his joints including the
spine. that he may bc lifted by the
placing of hand under his head and
one under his heels, his weight being
but scycnty-iivc pounds. The bones of
the fingers of the right hand, of the en-
tire left hand. and of the toes of both
feet have been entirely absorbed. and
the flesh OF the fingers and toes hangs
down like fr ngc. Mr. Bass Jaws are
tightly locked. but he manages TO ct
the heart est meals without mastIcr-
ton and without suffering inconven-
fence. Pork and other meat is cut in
thin strips, which he draws into his
mouth by sucking through the narrow
opening between his upper and lower
teeth. He eats the latest meats. Since
1869 he has been totally blind His
heart is five inches lower than the usu-
al position of that organ. but is per-
fectly sound, as are all of the invalid's
vital parts. The nails on his fingers
have grown to nearly foot in length
Mr.. Bass is man of more than aver
age intelligence. and keeps himself
posted on all questions Of the day. He
